Tucson, Arizona , the second largest city in the state, serves as the cultural, economic and educational center for southern Arizona. Tucson is the site of the flagship school of the state university system, the University of Arizona. Together with a US Army Intelligence Center (Fort Huachuca, the largest employer in the region in nearby Sierra Vista), the school’s presence has led to the development of a significant number of high-tech industries, including government contractors, in the area. Today, there are more than 1,200 businesses employing over 50,000 people in the high-tech industries of Southern Arizona. Situated on an alluvial plain in the Sonoran Desert, Tucson is surrounded by five mountain regions offering spectacular natural scenery: the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Tortolita Mountains to the north, the Santa Rita Mountains to the south, the Rincon Mountains to the east, and the Tucson Mountains to the west. The high point of the Santa Catalina Mountains is 9,157-foot Mount Lemmon, the southernmost ski destination in the continental U.S. The city of Tucson boasts a history spanning more than 300 years, with the first European settlers arriving about 1700 - well over a century before most of the state was even explored. The Spanish established a presidio (fort) on August 20, 1775 and the town came to be called "Tucson." Tucson lay within Mexico’s borders from 1821 (when Mexico declared independence from Spain) until the Gadsden purchase of 1853, when the region was annexed by the U.S. From 1867 to 1879, Tucson served as the capital of Arizona Territory. The University of Arizona, located in Tucson, was founded in 1885. Tucson continues to thrive today, with tourism and high-tech industries driving the regional economy. The City of Tucson, Pima County, the State of Arizona and the private sector have all made commitments to create a growing, healthy economy with high-tech industries as its foundation. Advanced technology companies like Raytheon Missile Systems, Texas Instruments, IBM, Intuit, Inc., Universal Avionics, Misys Healthcare Systems, Sanofi-Aventis, Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., and Bombardier all have a significant presence in Tucson.
